Peralta continues to underperform in 2024

He’s not an ace & is miscast in such a role

I certainly hope he doesn’t start Game 1 of our initial playoff series 

Is it a lock that he would be in a post season rotation?  It shouldn't be.

[willie key]

The brewers race for the number one seed lasted about 25 minutes

time to go back to concentrating on just making the playoffs

Let's go, Brewers!  We know you can't sign free agents like Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman at the drop of a hat!

So, let's punch MLB in the face for being an unfair league and do the impossible!

[BruisedCrew]

What happens in the regular season is one thing, but it’s really hard to imagine the Brewers competing with a team like this in a playoff series with the string of elite hitters they have at the top of the order. 

[wiguy94]

Freddy has worse numbers 3rd time through the order than both Rea and Myers this year and that's before tonight.

Rea - .304 wOBA, 5.26 ERA
Myers - .338 wOBA, 4.32 ERA
Peralta - .359 wOBA, 8.14 ERA

You'd never guess that based on the way Murphy manages them

This ain’t over.

I'm going on Saturday so you can already pencil that in as an 8-2 loss. 9-3 maybe. Either way, it won't be close, as every game I have gone to in like the last 5 years has been over before the Brewers could even wake up. 

I'm going to Sunday's game. They fare a little better when I'm there.

[Bulldogboy]

Also why three lefties tonight meanwhile we have three catchers and we can only use two at a time. Make it make sense.

They will make the playoffs. I doubt they go any farther than that. I've been consistent on this all season.

[BruisedCrew]

Time for Frelick to swing for the fences.

or bunt, not sure which is worse.

[Bulldogboy]

Can't Monteserio play the outfield?

Can they win a game this year

[Bulldogboy]

Embarrassing performance 

[yfinn6]

Yuck Ortiz. 

Frelick showed the extent of his power there.

At the most.

[adambr2]

Nothing like a reminder of how much of a pumpkin we look like against the Phillies and Dodgers to take the joy out of the recent hot streak.

Kershaw making our hitters look like the young players they are……..very frustrating…….

Like I've said before multiple times, not all first place teams are created equal.

It helps that we're in the worst division in baseball.

[willie key]

I would be happy if the cubs lost tonight.   I would not want them to sneak into that last wild card spot.

Spoke it into existence 

[Bulldogboy]

Peralta should be on the top step watching Kershaw. Stuff isn't everything. Learn how to pitch.
